A monumental bombshell was dropped on U.K. cycling fans in January as they were informed that Eurosport (currently £6.99 a month for on Discovery+) is going to be withdrawn at the end of February, meaning they'll soon have to part with £30.99 a month to watch cycling through TNT Sports.
Don't panic – below is how to watch Cycling in 2025 from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE!
Having only just recovered from the demise of GCN+ at the end of 2023 followed by the news that ITV will cease showing the Tour de France after this year cycling fans in the U.K. have been dealt a further body blow this week. In January it was announced Discovery+ will now no longer have the Eurosport coverage everyone loves and all the cycling content will to be moved over to TNT Sports, which costs a staggering £24 a month more than Discovery+.
Many viewers will even have been able to watch their cycling for free because Eurosport had been offered at no extra cost to Sky TV and Virgin Media customers, but this service is also going to come to an end. There will be various deals to be had if you look around with Sky TV selling a TNT subscription package for £25 per month on a 24-month contract and BT broadband customers able to pay just £20 a month.
TNT's argument for taking this approach? Cycling fans will now be able to enjoy many more sports all in one place such as football, rugby or UFC and by labelling the content as 'premium' they will be excited by the prospect, but this is far from the reality.
So, what are the best (and cheapest) ways to watch cycling online in the U.K. U.S. and Australia this season? I've done the math and rounded up your best options...
How to watch cycling live streams from anywhere
Firstly, it's you ever plan on watching or streaming cycling from abroad, you'll want to get yourself a VPN. This is a cheap, clever bit of software that allows you unblock your usual geo-blocked streaming service and tune in from anywhere in the world.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favourite right now is NordVPN (you've might have seen the TV ads). It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to SBS or another service showing the event and watch free cycling streams from anywhere in the world.
